[QUOTE="Montana73, post: 1890674, member: 111917"] If I properly align the vertical in my scope reticle to my personal physical rifle mount to a 12 to 6 o’clock point when mounting my scope on my rifle like Darrel Long in article above, what use is a level? For example I bought a top level in the top of my scope ring but when I mount my rifle and align my reticle, this top ring level is off. In other words, how I mount the rifle butt and my handhold causes this ring level to be off. i guess a level of the type that mounts on the scope barrel that is tightened to my scope mount of 12/6 position might work, but I’m puzzled on how this works better than just making sure my vertical reticle is proper each time to how it is sighted in. I’m starting to believe that for me, a scope level is just one more bling to buy that doesn’t really add anything to my rifle. More important to use Darrel Holland’s guidance to ensure my reticle is aligned to my shooting position to ensure repeatable shooting. [/QUOTE]
